Player News
Giancarlo Stanton homers twice in win
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:52 am ET) Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton provided all the offense for his team in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, hitting a two-run home run off starter Patrick Corbin in the sixth inning and adding a solo home run off reliever Heath Bell in the ninth inning to break a 2-2 tie.

While Stanton went 2 for 4 with two home runs and three RBI, the rest of the Marlins lineup combined to go 1 for 27. Stanton has four home runs in seven games since returning from the disabled list and seven home runs through 103 at-bats.


Heath bell surrenders homer in loss
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:48 am ET) Brought into a tie game in the ninth inning Monday, Diamondbacks closer Heath Bell surrendered a home run to Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton to suffer his first loss of the season. It was the only hit Bell allowed while striking out one in an inning of work.

Bell has given up at least one earned run in each of his last three appearances while watching his ERA rise to 4.23 in 27 2/3 innings. Even after allowing four earned runs in his last five games, Bell hasn't blown a save since May 12.


Patrick Corbin takes third straight no-decision
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:45 am ET) Diamondbacks pitcher Patrick Corbin allowed just two earned runs in eight innings against the Marlins Saturday, but left with the game tied 2-2 and keeping him at 9-0 after his third straight no-decision. He gave up just one walk and two hits, including a two-run home run to Giancarlo Stanton, while striking out seven.

Corbin maintained a 2.28 ERA by throwing eight two-run innings. He'll try again for win no. 10 when he faces the Reds Sunday.


Steve Cishek picks up 10th save
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:41 am ET) Marlins closer Steve Cishek earned his 10th save of the season with a perfect ninth inning Monday to preserve a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

It was Cishek's sixth straight appearance (spanning 5 1/3 innings) without surrendering a hit or a walk, giving him a 3.68 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 29 1/3 innings.


Jacob Turner allows two runs in no-decision
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:39 am ET) Marlins starting pitcher Jacob Turner surrendered two earned runs on six hits and three walks in five innings against the Diamondbacks Monday while striking out five. He remains 1-0 after not factoring into the decision.

Making his fourth start of the year, Turner gave up his first home run of the season while watching his ERA rise to 2.16 in 25 innings. He'll face the Giants in San Francisco Saturday.


Everth Cabrera could miss series against Giants
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:24 am ET) Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera could miss the team's entire three-game series against the Giants, MLB.com reports. He will be re-evaluated after a few days of rest to determine whether a trip to the disabled list is warranted.

"We're going to keep an eye on him for a few days," manager Bud Black said Monday. "We didn't want to be too quick to pull the trigger on the disabled list just yet."

Cabrera suffered the injury during a stolen base attempt Sunday and received treatment for the hamstring Monday.

"It's better to miss two or three games here and come back as quick as I can," Cabrera told MLB.com. "... I feel all right. I feel I can play but don't want to play at 50 percent. They said we will give it a couple of days and see how I feel."

Recent acquisition Pedro Ciriaco drew the start at shortstop in Monday's series opener against the Giants.


Darwin Barney homers in loss
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:08 am ET) Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney hit his third home run of the season in his team's 5-2 loss to the Cardinals Monday night.

It was Barney's first home run of June after hitting one home run a piece in April and May, and he extended his hitting streak to six games with the 1-for-4 performance. Barney has hit .214 in 196 at-bats.


Brandon Barnes swipes two bags on three-hit night
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:07 am ET) Astros outfielder Brandon Barnes had a three-hit night in a 4-2 loss to Chicago Monday. Barnes went 3 for 5 with a run scored. 

All three of his hits were singles and he turned that into two stolen bases. Barnes now has six steals on the season. He is batting .284 for Houston. 

The 27-year-old has gone 5 for 12 over his last three games. He's been caught stealing five times. 


Edward Mujica gives up homer in 20th save
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(12:06 am ET) Cardinals closer Edward Mujica recorded four outs to earn his 20th save of the year Monday against the Cubs, though he surrendered his fourth home run of the season with two outs in the ninth before recording the final out.

Mujica had pitched eight straight scoreless outings before giving up the home run Monday, and he remains perfect in save opportunities this season. Only Jason Grilli has saved more games without blowing one opportunity.


Jason Castro nets two RBI doubles
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:05 am ET) Astros catcher Jason Castro recorded two doubles Monday during a 4-2 loss to the White Sox. Castro drove in both of Houston's runs. 

His first-inning double drove in Jose Altuve and his third-inning double scored Brandon Barnes. 

Castro finished 2 for 4 and is batting .274 with 25 RBI. He's recorded at least one hit in four straight games and is 7 for 15 over that span with three doubles, three runs scored, two homers and five RBI.
